2010 Sundance Film Festival

The 2010 Sundance Film Festival was infused with a sense of renewal as it marked the first year under the stewardship of Festival Director John Cooper. The program itself was revitalized with the inception of NEXT, a category featuring innovative films by emerging artists. The 117 feature-length films selected for the 2010 Festival included the riveting war doc and Grand Jury Prize winner Restrepo, and eventual Oscar nominee Winter’s Bone. The Oath and Waiting for Superman filled out the esteemed Documentary Competition; while Animal Kingdom and happythankyoumoreplease were among the highlights of the Dramatic Competition.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
